I use a lot this command to edit a bunch of files at once
I'm trying to put a function on my .bashrc file.
But I get this error
And all the files are replaced by empty files. I would like to substitute only the files where the pattern search actually did something, and if it's possible, keeping the original file permissions.
We have a script that runs in ksh on HP-UX 11.11. It takes three arguments. The last argument can be a filename or wildcard character. For example:
script -s hello -t goodbye '*.d*'
In a case such as this, I would wrap single quotes around the final argument because I dont want the shell to... (4 Replies)

Hello -
I have a bash script which does some logging, and I'd like to include the line number of the echo statement that pipes into $LOGGER:
MYPID=$$
MYNAME=`basename $0`
LOGGER="/usr/bin/logger -t $MYNAME($LINENO) -p daemon.error"

I'm in the habit of using the following type of loop structure:
for num in `seq $1 $2`
do

doneWhile `seq $1 $2` is not exactly a huge resource hog, I would like to learn a better way. It seems that brace expansion is a good way to go:
for num in {3..10}The problem, though, is... (2 Replies)
The objective of the code below is to create sed script to be later executed. However, it bonks because $ARCHIVENAME expands to a directory specification so the forward slashes cause problems.

Hi forum,
in my bash script I've many lines executing commands with redirection to log files.

The (not working) idea is something like that

So, I was bored on the train today, and was thinking of ways to loop through elements of an array. I came up with the following simple script, but it doesn't work as brace expansion doesn't seem to work with variables. Is there something I'm missing, or does the shell just not work like this?

erl_format - Create and Match Erlang Terms
DESCRIPTION
This module contains two routines - one general function for creating Erlang terms and one for pattern matching Erlang terms.
EXPORTS
ETERM * erl_format(FormatStr, ... )
Types char *FormatStr;
This is a general function for creating Erlang terms using a format specifier and a corresponding set of arguments, much in the way
printf() works.
FormatStr is a format specification string. The set of valid format specifiers is as follows:
* ~i - Integer
* ~f - Floating point
* ~a - Atom
* ~s - String
* ~w - Arbitrary Erlang term
For each format specifier that appears in FormatStr , there must be a corresponding argument following FormatStr . An Erlang term is
built according to the FormatStr with values and Erlang terms substituted from the corresponding arguments and according to the
individual format specifiers. For example:
erl_format("[{name,~a},{age,~i},{data,~w}]",
"madonna",
21,
erl_format("[{adr,~s,~i}]","E-street",42));
This will create an (ETERM *) structure corresponding to the Erlang term: [{name,madonna},{age,21},{data,[{adr,"E-street",42}]}]
The function returns an Erlang term, or NULL if FormatStr does not describe a valid Erlang term.
int erl_match(Pattern, Term)
Types ETERM *Pattern,*Term;
This function is used to perform pattern matching similar to that done in Erlang. Refer to an Erlang manual for matching rules and
more examples.
Pattern is an Erlang term, possibly containing unbound variables.
Term is an Erlang term that we wish to match against Pattern .
Term and Pattern are compared, and any unbound variables in Pattern are bound to corresponding values in Term .
If Term and Pattern can be matched, the function returns a non-zero value and binds any unbound variables in Pattern . If Term Pat-
tern do not match, the function returns 0. For example:
ETERM *term, *pattern, *pattern2;
term1 = erl_format("{14,21}");
term2 = erl_format("{19,19}");
pattern1 = erl_format("{A,B}");
pattern2 = erl_format("{F,F}");
if (erl_match(pattern1, term1)) {
/* match succeeds:
* A gets bound to 14,
* B gets bound to 21
*/
...
}
if (erl_match(pattern2, term1)) {
/* match fails because F cannot be
* bound to two separate values, 14 and 21
*/
...
}
if (erl_match(pattern2, term2)) {
/* match succeeds and F gets bound to 19 */
...
}
erl_var_content() can be used to retrieve the content of any variables bound as a result of a call to erl_match() .
